Mission Statement
Creating a barrier free community.
About This Cause
GMCPD is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that includes approximately 40 different nonprofit organizations, state and local government programs, and advocates. Our mission as an organization is to create a barrier-free community. Our executive team consists of eight officers who are elected to their positions by the general membership. All of our members are volunteers who were all drawn to the mission work of this committee. We provide student scholarships annually to students with disabilities, small business awards to employers who reduce barriers to employment, and our largest event of the year for the last 39 years is Shopper's Day, celebrated in December. This event hosts approximately 1000 people with disabilities of all ages at a local mall, featuring entertainment performed by people with disabilities, free refreshments and gift wrapping, a safe and happy environment with local high school students who volunteer to assist the shoppers who request assistance. The Mayor's Committee gives each shopper $10 cash to help with their shopping or lunch, as most do not have funds of their own. The funds are dependent on fundraisers and donations from people like you.
